  • Excellent

    This has been my primary study method since I can take it anywhere and spend a lot of time away from home and I got a 98% on the written as a result. Through explanations and the questions are virtually identical to the real thing. It's worth the $10. Just make sure that when you miss a question you take the time to go learn the relevant material rather than memorize the answers and you'll be good to go.

  • Perfect for airman knowledge test

    Excellent app. Scored a 93% on my airman knowledge test. Just had 1 test question that was not on the app. “Lowest altitude of an aerobatic aircraft is?.... 1500 feet. Other than that, excellent!
  • Not enough questions

    Most of the questions need to be updated and need to have more questions in your bank compared to gleim book.
  • Could be better

    I bought this app because I need to cram for my upcoming test. It does an "alright" job but there are a number of things I would change. 1. put better reference information in the explanations. The explanation is short, so if I want to go look up the specifics, give me a page or section number. 2. allow me to resize the figures on my iPhone. I can look at the figures, but I can't zoom out so I can see all the information... very annoying. 3. if I get a question wrong, just show me the explanation and don't make me click to read it. I find myself clicking too many times to get anything done. I would wait to buy this until they update the app, there are other better ones out there.

  • Has errors

    Some of the questions that need referencing sectional charts are off. For example, it'll ask for the CTAF frequency for Redbird airport, but the correct frequency as shown on the chart isn't one of the multiple choices. Or you'll be ask to refer to section 6 on the chart, but section 6 isn't on the chart provided. I have other ASA products and expected more from this established company and brand. They should know better than to release a half-baked product. I've had the app for over a year, so they've had time to issue an update to fix these problems, but it doesn't seem like they are supporting this app.

  • Well worth it!

    I have the iPad mini 2, and everything works great. I took my FAA written today (09-Jan-2014) and received a 92%. There were a few questions on the exam that we're not in here BUT the FAA did just put out new questions recently. I gave this app 4 stars only because it would be nice to be able to study more than one section at a time, like you do with the computer program of prep-ware. If you need to study aerodynamics and navigation, then check their boxes and study all their questions in a random order.

    Over all, super happy with this app and just purchased the instrument app as well.

  • Very happy

    I used this to help pass my written - I got a 90 and took me less than 30 minutes to take the exam. In fact when I walked out of the testing room the administrator asked if something was wrong. I said - no, I'm finished. He was shocked.

    This was not my only source - however, I can assure you that you can pass with this alone. I don't recommend that because you learn the test and not the material. You should learn the material - and use this to practice for the test.

  • Student Pilot

    I'm 48 years old and haven't taken such a comprehensive test in 25 years! I found this app while searching for a flash card app for the ppl exam. I had already been through the Gleim book when I found this app and realized there is no substitute for the information in the FAR/AIM, PHAK and AFH! This app does a masterful job of identifying your strengths and weaknesses so that you may study the areas you are weak. I used this app every day on my phone and iPad for two weeks as I had time. Took my written yesterday and made a 95%. Wonderful product guys!! Ill use the next one for my instrument and commercial! Thanks!!

  • Brilliant!

    It's so much easier to have every single question on the go. Better than working from the Gliem book in my opinion. Every question I got in my actual written was in this app! I came out with 90% - that was mainly down to this wonderful addition to the AppStore. Highly recommended for all Private Pilots.

  • Brilliant to study the Q bank!

    This app is perfect if you have already studied the majority of the syllabus and merely want to make sure you gain experience in the type of questions that you will be asked in the PPL written exam! Since purchasing this app my grades in practice exams have shot up by a considerable margin! If you are serious about passing your PPL written exam, this app is a must buy, and for only $10 it's not going to break the bank!
